How it feels

A frantic, twitchy shooter that throws waves of enemies and environmental hazards at you, rewarding precise movement and aggressive hacking with spectacular explosions.

What players say

Players praise the Sega-like action and smooth twin-stick shooting, but many find the trial-and-error difficulty frustrating, especially after the first level. The game is short, and the native Linux build is broken, requiring Proton.
